Preparing
If you've never raced GNCC before, definitely take the time to check out their website. They do a great job giving information for new riders.
Check out the classes and decide which would work best for you. There are 70 dirt bike classes, 53 ATV classes and 11 eMTB classes. They are based on skill level and bike size. If you are unsure, you can contact them to ask or ask at registration when you sign up. Alternatively, you can use the Rocky Mountain Pre-registration to sign up in advance. Keep in mind that when racing GNCC, you will need a current AMA membership also.
Keep an eye out for our sponsored pro rider Ronnie Rusch during the 1pm ATV race on Saturday. Good luck to everyone!
The next GNCC race will be Round 2 The Hog Waller in Palatka, Florida on March 2nd and 3rd. Check back for more info!
